Comparative Literature

Comparative Literature is an academic field that deals with the study of literature and cultural expression across linguistic, national, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries.

Comparative Literature performs a role similar to that of the study of international relations but works with languages and artistic traditions to understand cultures 'from the inside.'

I completed a one-year French prep class focused on enhancing my proficiency in the language and deepening my understanding of French literature and culture.
